Ryan, it has nothing to do with the ignition question, but I'd say the key to the '40 is having good insurance. A friend smacked a deer driving his pristine 2008 Porsche Boxter RS 60 Spyder, taking out a headlight, fender and internal damage. Luckily he insured with a collector car company ( Hagerty for him) and they didn't balk at the shop's $19,000 bill for repairs, all factory original parts. About 5 years ago he hit a raccoon with the same car and it took out stuff under the car with a bill from the Porsche dealer for over $4,000. If you hit a deer/raccoon with the '40 take it to the best hot rod shop you can find and have them fix it, IF you have good insurance....
